Vaccine Thoughts

Today my office got a “1 star” review from a person who isn’t even a patient.  She was upset that I do not require my staff to be vaccinated.  So, I thought I would lay it out there so that you and all my followers can understand my thought process on this whole vaccine issue.

I Support the Use of Safe Vaccines

First and foremost, let me state that I am a proponent of vaccines. I have been fully vaccinated with every other vaccine under the sun (I was in the military and we were given EVERYTHING) and was adamant about getting my flu vaccine until 2016 when I had a severe anaphylactic reaction to the influenza vaccine. 

I’m Personally Allergic to the Components of COVID-19 Vaccines and Influenza Vaccines.

Thinking this was just a hypersensitivity issue, I got my yearly flu vaccine in 2017 and my reaction of hives and inflammation were worse.  We concluded that I am allergic to the base in the vaccine polyethylene glycol (PEG) or polysorbate.  In doing a great deal of research trying to find out what it was I was reacting to, I changed my position on the need for the yearly influenza vaccine.  (It causes a 36% increase susceptibility to coronavirus infections.  You can read about that information here.)  

Polysorbate or PEG is a component of all three COVID-19 vaccines, and is a contraindication to getting the COVID-19 vaccines (listed right on the CDC website – as there is NO package insert on any of the vaccines to date), so I have been very leery of getting vaccinated with anything containing these chemicals.

I’ve Already Had COVID-19 Twice

Near the end of March 2020, I had six patients (3 couples) come off of a cruise to the Caribbean, and had symptoms that we thought were Parainfluenza virus, but later turned out to be COVID-19.  2 weeks later, I and the majority of my staff became ill with COVID-19.   I had classic symptoms of COVID-19, however, my symptoms only lasted about 3 days, many of my staff members were sick for 1-2 weeks, and my wife was sick for 3 weeks.  It was about this time that nasal swab testing became available. 

Over the last 18 months, we have treated over 400 positive COVID-19 cases outpatient.  I have an active patient population of about 8,000 patients.  Between myself and my PA, we see about 13,000 patient visits per year, so we are a busy practice.  The average age of my patients is 65 years old and the majority of these patient have insulin resistance and/or diabetes.   My concern was that we have a huge practice susceptible to severe COVID-19 infections.  However, amazingly in the first 12 months of this pandemic we only had 12 hospitalizations for COVID-19 infections and those were the patients who were not following a low carbohydrate or ketogenic diet and were not controlling their blood sugars or insulin levels.

As predicted, and like any coronavirus, yearly resurgence of the infection will re-occur.  We’ve seen about 15 new cases of COVID-19 in the office in the last four weeks which appear to correlate with the Delta Variant being seen in the hospital across the street from my office.  In the last month, we have seen a resurgence of COVID-19 infections, and five of my staff members were out of the office due to positive COVID-19 infections.  Symptoms lasted 3-14 days in my staff.   All of these patients and my staff were treated with my protocol and none have been hospitalized. 

I personally came down with a reoccurrence of the infection and had symptoms of sore throat, headache, sinus pressure, loss of taste & smell, and productive cough resolve within 72 hours following our treatment protocol.  Like the flu with over 600 variants, there are already 160+ variants of the COVID-19 virus around the world.   So, it is to be expected that we will see this yearly, much like we’ve seen the flu.

Because of my position on this particular vaccine and the influenza vaccine, many members of my church (who has heavily supported this vaccine) and the medical community have ostracized me and my family, as I’ve raised concerns and been vocal about this issue. And yet, a recent real world study in Israel of over 800,000 people demonstrates that those with natural immunity to COVID-19 have 13 times greater protection than those that are vaccinated.

I’ve Seen More Adverse Reaction to COVID-19 Vaccine Then Any Other Vaccine

In January, when the vaccine came out, I was interested in using this in our practice, but I had concerns regarding the untested delivery mechanism that this vaccine used and I was concerned that there were no clinical trials established at the time to know what to expect from this vaccine.

About 30-40% of my practice opted to get vaccinated.  And about 30% of my staff opted to get vaccinated as well.

Of great concern to me is that I have started seeing strange long-term vaccine reactions in those patients that got vaccinated:

  • I have three patient that had profound fatigue – literally could not get out of bed for 4-5 months after getting vaccinated.  Two of these patients are still experiencing these symptoms today.
  • I have two patients who had pericarditis/myocarditis from the vaccine (Now a Black Box Warning for these vaccines)
  • I have seven patients with persistent elevated D-Dimer levels 3-6 months after vaccination predisposing them to blood clots and pulmonary emboli.  Two actually had life threatening blood clots in the lungs. (Blood clots is also a Black Box Warning on these vaccines)
  • Four of these seven had colitis that persisted for 6-8 weeks that was unresponsive to antibiotic therapy.
  • And, one of these patients has symptoms of severe fatigue & tachycardia (rapid heart rate) upon standing that has yet to resolve.
  • I have two others that had spontaneous bruising over their lower extremities for 6 weeks associated with severe fatigue.

95% of the people that get vaccinated in my clinical experience seem to have no problem.   5% of patients have profound symptoms of illness as if they had a mild to moderate case of COVID-19 that can last up to 7 days.  

When I have commented about what I am seeing to my colleagues, they roll their eyes at me and blow it off.   And, behind my back, they tell others that I’m just blowing things out of proportion. Yet, the patients I have seen above are real and these symptoms have dramatically affected their lives, their families and their ability to work and provide a living for themselves.

Am I against getting vaccinated?  No, but I want people to clearly understand the risks and benefits of vaccination.  To date, there is still no package insert that is given to those receiving the vaccines, providing any warning, including the Black Box Warnings. And, the patients that have had adverse reactions have told me that they would never have considered getting vaccinated if they knew about the symptoms they were potentially going to experience.

Why the World’s Leaders and Large Businesses Pushing 100% Vaccination Rates?

You’re going to think I am crazy, but I’ve been racking my brain for a reason, trying to understand why we are where we are today.

Now, before you try to commit me to a mental institution, please watch the two videos and make your own conclusions based on what I theorize may be happening. This information actually scares the snot out of me.

Why are the leadership of countries around the world and large businesses pushing for 100% vaccination so rapidly? The only thing I can surmise based on what we are hearing was confirmed in the video below as the Arkansas Governor and his Medical Advisor explain risk factors for pregnancy. The Aransas Medical Advisor actually sets the narrative.

If there are fertility issues that begin to arise, it won’t be blamed on the vaccine, it will be the COVID-19 variant to be blamed. If there is no unvaccinated control group, any side effects of infertility or pregnancy problems can be blamed on the virus itself, which is exactly what the Arkansas Medical Advisor just did last week.

It is important to understand that pregnancy and fertility data on drugs and vaccines are confirmed during the Phase 4 part of clinical trials. The COVID-19 vaccine skipped the Phase 4 due to the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). If there are problems with fertility or pregnancy, we will not truly know until January of 2022 at the earliest. Auto-immunity problems take up to four years to show up.

So, why would world leadership push this agenda?

Population control and the ability to rapidly control the economy under a global government – and our leaders actually roll played this pandemic and how to solve it in October, 2019.

The “Great Reset” is a long term ideological grab of what’s left of individual freedom and free market economies, and the goal is the imposition of a global dictatorship. Globalists wrap these objectives in pretty sounding words and humanitarian sounding aspirations, but the bottom line of the “Reset” is about an end to liberty as we know it.

I know, I know. It sound like a huge conspiratorial exaggeration. And, I would not have believed it unless I actually watched the video of these people putting all these puzzle pieces together. Unfortunately, this is reality; this is what these people desire, above all else. But, how do they achieve such a goal?

Interestingly enough, the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the Bill And Melinda Gates Foundation described exactly how they planned to do it during a “simulation” they held in October of 2019 called “Event 201”. During the event, they imagined a massive coronavirus pandemic, spread supposedly from animals to humans, which would facilitate the need for pervasive restrictions on individual liberties, national economies as well as the internet and social media.

I’m sure it’s all a coincidence, but the exact same scenario the globalists at the WEF played out during Event 201 happened in the real world only two months later with a virus and a vaccine that were patented by the CDC and Pfizer over 21 years ago.

The virus that causes illness in swine discussed in the Event 201 roll play was patented on January 28, 2000 (https://patents.justia.com/patent/6372224). This is the base SARS-CoV2 molecule. We’ve know about it and had it patented for over 20 years.

On April 14, 2004, full gene sequence of SARS-CoV2 AND the detection method for PCR identification of SARS-CoV2 was patented (https://patents.justia.com/patent/7220852, this includes sub patents 46592703-P, and patent 776521). Two weeks later, on April 28, 2004, the SARS-CoV2 antiviral vaccine patent was filed by Secoya Pharmaceuticals (https://patents.justia.com/patent/7151163), who later became part of the holdings of Pfizer, Crucell (now Janssen) and Johnson & Johnson.

Ask yourself how can the treatment be patented just two weeks after the detection method and virus structure were patented? Then ask yourself a second question, how can a virus be patented that is naturally occurring (it is against the law to patent naturally occurring “Novel” viruses)?

Answer: First, it is physically impossible to come up with a vaccine just days after you identify at measurement tool for the virus. Second, this is NOT a “novel” virus. It’s been on Pfizer’s shelf since 2000.

In 2007, the CDC attempted to patent the same viral sequence and it was denied. The CDC, then, paid to have this patent over-ridden and made private. They essentially paid a bribe to take public patent information and cover it up. This is all public record in the patent office information located above.

You can watch the testimony of Dr. David Martin and the patents he’s analyzed over the last 20 years. All records are publicly available going back to 1999 showing the Novel Coronavirus was well known and not actually “Novel” for two decades. He explains his credentials and provides how this present outbreak was engineered.

Only time will tell, but we will know more in the next 6-12 months as this health fiasco plays out.

Is Mandatory Vaccination Worth The Risks?

As of today, there are 6,183 COVID-19 vaccine related deaths in the United States according to the CDC’s VAERs website. We as health care providers are required to report vaccine related injury to the VAERs site.

And, yet, when we site this data (being the ONLY DATA available to us as clinicians required to make judgement calls in real time on the use of these vaccines) we are labeled “conspiracy theorists.”

Many of you have been very vocal, threatening me and stopped following my social media channels recently,: “Dr. Nally, why do you keep harping on this vaccine risk issue? I used to trust you . . .”

In fact, Facebook has consistently blocked me from doing any “live-streaming” for the last six months. They keep finding posts from 1-2 years ago that “violate community standards” and extend my ban on live-stream posting privilege’s.”

The Answer: Because, two more of my patients have been hospitalized with life-threatening blood clots in the lungs after vaccination, both of which have never had any history of clotting problems. “Houston, THIS IS A PROBLEM! Are you listening?!”

https://wonder.cdc.gov/controller/datarequest/D8;jsessionid=6D180E77E02D9533F8867A5708ED

Are there errors in public reporting? Of course. That is to be expected. However, some researchers that use these data sets state that VAERs reporting may be under-reported generally by up to a factor of 5. That means that the number of vaccine related deaths could between 6,000 – 39,900 as of today.

Of course, Reuters.com, FactCheck.org and Snopes.com have no medical malpractice risk looming over their heads when they make their “fact checking” statements, nor do they have the life and health of a family member depending on their recommendations sitting in front of them in the exam room.

So, you be the judge. Just remember, the Swine Flu vaccine got pulled off the market after 450 cases of Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) appeared and 3 deaths in elderly patients were reported within days of vaccination (https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/concerns/concerns-history.html).

Influenza and Menactra vaccines increase the risk of GBS by 2 per 1,000,000 doses (https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/concerns/guillain-barre-syndrome.html).

Currently the CDC admits that COVID-19 vaccines have been directly implicated in:

Blood Clots (life-threatening thrombosis and thrombocytosis syndrome) like blood clots in the lungs occur in 7 per 1,000,000 vaccinations.

Anaphylaxis occurs in 5 per 1,000,000 vaccinations.

Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) has occurred in 137 patients vaccinated.

Myocarditis/Pericarditis has been confirmed in over 700 cases of those vaccinated. (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/adverse-events.html)

It is hard to imagine a more dangerous and asinine way of making decisions than by abdicating those health decisions into the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.

So, for a virus that has a 99.98% unvaccinated survival rate across the US population, is the risk of giving up your freedom of choice worth taking?

Well, that’s really your choice. My job as your physician is to give you the pros and the cons. That’s what I’ve done. You’ve probably already commented to me about how you either agree or disagree with me. That’s OK. Because, unlike many other medical professionals, I’ve done my job.

Now, you need to decide, is the risk of a mandated vaccine worth defending your freedom over, or do you give up this hill, tuck your tail between your legs, roll up your sleeve and then retreat?

As for me, I may be alone, but I’m standing on this hill. You’re going to have to bury me to take it.

Vaccine Guidance Got You Confused?

Do you find yourself confused about mixed guidance when it comes to COVID-19 vaccines and safety concerns?  You’re not alone.  Even we, as physicians, struggle to wade through the ever changing guidance, research and new adverse events popping up every day.

Today, the Surgeon General recommended that we as physicians try to calm your concerns about the vaccine and encourage you to get it. While the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Surgeon General are marketing widespread use of the emergency-use vaccines in the U.S. for both old and young alike, many other countries are limiting COVID-19 vaccine use. Health officials around the world are giving varying advice on safety issues as COVID-19 vaccines are given to more people, and more information can be collected.

Below are summaries of some of the concerns as of July 15th, 2021, that have emerged or been raised by medical officials around the world.  I’ve written about many of them.  Hopefully, this summary gives you a good 30,000 foot perspective.

General

Fifty-seven authors from 17 countries have signed an endorsement urging that Covid-19 vaccinations be stopped unless new safety mechanisms are immediately implemented.

The authors include Dr. Peter McCullough, cardiologist and Vice Chief of Medicine at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, Texas, who has called for a halt to vaccinating 30-year olds due to “no clinical benefit” and safety concerns.

In the United Kingdom, some scientists analyzed adverse event reports and called upon the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency to stop the Covid-19 vaccines as “not safe for human use” due to reports of issues with bleeding/clotting, pain, immune system, neurological, loss of sight/hearing/smell/speech, and questions about impact in pregnant women.

A petition of scientists led by Linda Wastila, Professor, Pharmaceutical Health Services Research University of Maryland School of Pharmacy is calling for Covid-19 vaccines to be disapproved.

Guillain-Barre Syndrome Autoimmune Paralysis

As of July 13th, 2021, the FDA issued a warning about Guillain-Barre autoimmune paralysis, in which the immune system attacks the body’s nerves, after immunization with the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. According to reports, the cases have primarily been reported about two weeks after vaccination, mostly in men, and “any aged 50 and older.” The risk of contracting this syndrome is 3-5 times higher, meaning up to 10 out of every 100,000 vaccinated persons are at risk.

Numerous case reports of Guillain-Barre syndrome paralysis after Covid-19 vaccine have prompted scientists to warn that “all physicians” should be “vigilant in recognizing Guillain-Barre syndrome in patients who have received the AstraZeneca vaccine.”  Observations suggest that “this clinically distinct [Guillain-Barre syndrome] variant is more severe than usual and may require mechanical ventilation.”

In the U.K., scientists flagged “bifacial weakness and normal facial sensation in four men between 11 and 22 days after their first doses of the Astra-Zeneca vaccine.” A case has also been reported in a patient who got the Pfizer vaccine. In India, there are reports of seven severe cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome 10 to 14 days after the first dose of AstraZeneca’s vaccine. Six were women, all had facial paralysis, “all progressed to quadriplegia, and six required respiratory support. Patients’ ages ranged from 43 to 70. Four developed other cranial neuropathies, including abducens palsy and trigeminal sensory nerve involvement.”

Guillain-Barre syndrome has been reported after other mRNA vaccinations like Gardasil. The cause is believed to be damage to the immune system. The disorder can be extremely serious and can lead to total paralysis with dependence on artificial respiration. Even those who recover may have serious muscle wasting and may have to slowly teach the body to relearn most every normal task, such as walking.

Statistically, one in 20 cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome is fatal.

Heart Issues

The Food and Drug Administration has added a new warning to Pfizer and Moderna Covid-19 vaccines about risk of heart inflammation.

As of June of 2021, CDC said that more than 1,200 cases of heart inflammation (myocarditis of pericarditis) in young people had been reported after Pfizer and Moderna Covid-19 vaccination.

  • More than half were after the second dose.
  • Most of the injuries are in males under age 30.

The Israeli Ministry of Health announced it’s monitoring for heart inflammation after Pfizer’s vaccine due to reports of problems.

Myocarditis and Other Cardiovascular Complications of the mRNA-Based COVID-19 Vaccines [Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna] in a number of patients are described in a scientific article:

  • Two patients with clinically suspected myocarditis
  • One patient with stress cardiomyopathy 
  • Two patients with pericarditis 

According to the research: 

  • The two patients with clinically suspected myocarditis were otherwise healthy young men who presented with acute substernal chest pressure and/or dyspnea after receiving the second dose of the vaccine and were found to have diffuse ST elevations on electrocardiogram (ECG), elevated cardiac biomarkers and inflammatory markers, and mildly reduced left ventricular (LV) function on echocardiography. Both patients met the modified Lake Louise Criteria for acute myocarditis by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. 
  • A case of stress cardiomyopathy occurred in a 60-year-old woman with known coronary artery disease (CAD) and previously normal LV function, who presented with new exertional symptoms, ECG changes, and apical akinesis following the second dose of the vaccine. 
  • The two patients with pericarditis who presented with chest pain, elevated inflammatory markers, and pericardial effusions after receiving the vaccine.

Blood Clots

In late June, the first case of a blood clot disorder called “thrombosis with thrombocytopenia” after an RNA double-dose vaccine was been reported in the Annals of Internal Medicine. The case was that of a 65-year-old man who developed symptoms ten days after his second dose of the Moderna vaccine. Because the blood clot disorder was not previously warned about in the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines, doctors treated the patient with heparin, the very drug that’s not supposed to be used in post-vaccine patients suffering from the disorder because it could actually worsen the condition.

The Johnson and Johnson Covid-19 vaccine was temporarily removed from the market in the U.S. on April 16, 2021 while health officials studied reports of blood clot injuries. Among them was an 18-year old teen named Emma Burkey, who got sick about a week after the Johnson and Johnson Covid-19 vaccine and ended up having three brain surgeries related to blood clots and seizures.

The Johnson and Johnson vaccine was allowed back on the market April 27, 2021 with new warnings about the disorder.

Swedish health officials determined that people under age 65 should not get the Johnson and Johnson vaccine due to reports of blood clots.

An editorial published in the Journal of the American Medical Association recommended women under age 50 avoid the Johnson and Johnson Covid-19 vaccine due to concerns about blood clots. The recommendation discussed 12 case reports of a blood disorder known as cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) with thrombocytopenia following the Johnson and Johnson vaccine.

The AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine (not currently approved in the U.S.) has been linked to a dangerous disorder involving blood clots with low blood platelets. On April 7, 2021, the European Medicines Agency says it made the association after it analyzed 62 cases of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis and 24 cases of splanchnic vein thrombosis reported in the EU drug safety database (EudraVigilance) as of March 22, 2021. Eighteen of these cases of were fatal.

An otherwise healthy South Florida doctor, Gregory Michael, died of a brain hemorrhage 16 days after he got Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine. Authorities concluded he died of a blood disorder called “immune thrombocytopenia” (ITP) that can prevent blood from clotting and cause internal bleeding. His wife said a blood test showed the level of his platelets to be at “zero.” She said before the shot, Dr. Michael had “absolutely no medical issues” and no underlying conditions. However, authorities later categorized his death as “natural.”

Dr. Charles Hoffe, a Canadian physician with 28 years of medical practice, was relived from hospital duty and placed on a gag order after sounding the alarm that 62% of the 900 dose of the Moderna Vaccine he gave in his office caused an elevated D-Dimer test, implying microscopic clotting throughout the body.

I’ve personally seen and treated five patients with elevated D-dimer and abnormal blood clotting post COVID-19 vaccination in the last 6 months. These clots have occurred with 4 hours to 2 weeks after vaccination in otherwise healthy patients with no other risk of clotting.

In Spain, the AstraZeneca shot has been restricted in people under age 60 due to reports of blood clots in younger people.

Bulgaria, Iceland and Norway have halted AstraZeneca shots. 

Austria, Italy and Romania banned certain “lots” or batches of the AstraZeneca shots.

Denmark stopped using the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine altogether as well as the Johnson and Johnson vaccine after investigations into blood clots, saying “the benefits of using the COVID-19 vaccine from Johnson & Johnson do not outweigh the risk of causing the possible adverse effect in those who receive the vaccine.”

The Italian government recently restricted AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine to adults over age 60 after a teenager who got the shot died from a rare form of blood clotting. Eighteen-year-old Camilla Canepa died after getting vaccinated May 25, 2021. 

Several other European countries have also stopped giving the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine to people below a certain age, usually ranging from 50 to 65. 

Grave’s disease Autoimmune Disorder

Studies in Mexico and Turkey link the autoimmune thyroid disorder Grave’s disease to Covid-19 vaccination in numerous female health care workers, including two who were breastfeeding. Pfizer-BioNTech was the vaccine given in Mexico. A Chinese vaccine was given in Turkey. Read more here.

Frail & Elderly

Health officials in Norway sounded the alarm after 23 patients died shortly after getting the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine. They advise doctors to use caution in administering the shot to “very frail elderly patients.” 

After investigating 13 of the deaths, the Norwegian authorities concluded that common side effects from so-called “RNA” vaccines may be too much for a frail elderly person to handle, and may contribute to their death. 

“There is a possibility that these common adverse reactions, that are not dangerous in fitter, younger patients and are not unusual with vaccines, may aggravate underlying disease in the elderly,” said Steinar Madsen, medical director of the Norwegian Medicines Agency.

CDC said it is monitoring the impact of the vaccines on already-frail patients such as the chronically ill in nursing homes.

Several clusters of elderly patients in U.S. nursing homes died after Pfizer or Moderna Covid-19 vaccine. In one group, a number of the patients who died tested positive for Covid-19 after vaccination.

Pregnant Women

Several Brazilian states suspended use of AstraZeneca’s Covid-19 vaccine for pregnant women in May 2021 after a pregnant woman died after getting vaccinated. The decisions follow the recommendation of the country’s National Health Surveillance Agency, which recommended “immediate suspension” of the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine for pregnant women after results of vaccine adverse events monitoring in the country.

CDC says that with limited data on impact of Covid-19 vaccine in pregnant women and on their unborn children, the decision on whether to vaccinate while pregnant is an individual decision to be made between a woman and her physician.

Previously-Infected

CDC falsely claimed that studies showed Covid-19 vaccines are effective for those who already had Covid-19. In fact, studies showed the opposite.

Manufacturing Problems

On June 11, the European Union’s drug regulator announced it will not use batches of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine that were made at a Baltimore, Maryland-based plant around the time that cross-contamination manufacturing problems were reported at the facility.

Anonymous sources claimed that up to 60 million doses of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine had to be thrown out. But the FDA issued a news release saying that two batches from the Baltimore plant were safe to use. The FDA said “several other batches are not suitable for use, but additional batches are still under review.”

Lack of Immunity

Israel announced that about half of the adults infected with Covid-19 during its outbreak in the June 2021 time period were fully vaccinated. The fully-vaccinated individuals had gotten Pfizer’s shots.

According to Epoch Times, in June 2021 nearly 4,000 fully vaccinated people in Massachusetts tested positive for Covid-19. On April 30, “the CDC reported that some 10,626 breakthrough cases were reported in 46 states and territories.” Breakthrough cases are where fully vaccinated people still end up infected with Covid-19.

Scientists hoped that Covid-19 vaccines would be effective in variants of Covid-19, which are mutations that occur naturally with viruses and were always expected with Covid-19. However, the vaccine effectiveness against variants may be limited. CDC and vaccine makers are studying the medical landscape to find out more. Other states, such as Maine, are noting Covid-19 deaths occurring in fully vaccinated people.

Israeli Ministry of Health Files Public Warning on COVID Vaccine

Rates of mycarditis/pericarditis in Israel is usually around 1/50,000. Since the onset of vaccination the rate of myocarditis/pericarditis increased to 1/5000.

https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CIRCIMAGING.120.010897. Arrows in figure C reflect fluid and inflammation around the pericardial sac

The Ministry of Health in Israel just filed this statement with the press:
“There is some probability for a possible link between the second vaccine dose and the onset of myocarditis among young men aged 16 to 30. This link was found to be stronger among the younger age group, 16 to 19, compared to other age groups. This link became weaker the older the vaccinated individual is. In most cases myocarditis took the form of mild illness that passed within a few days.
The recommendation to vaccinate teenagers aged 12-15 shall be discussed in the forum of the Pandemic Containment Task-Force and submitted to the approval of the Ministry of Health’s Director General. We shall issue a public update once a decision has been made.”
But, You Can Still Get Free Beer, Free Krispy Kreams and Free Pot If You Get Vaccinated, Right?!!
VAERS and CDC both report INCREASE IN MYOCARDITIS AND PERICARDITIS (up to 25 times greater than normal rates) in young men who received COVID-19 vaccination, a life threatening inflammation of the heart wall or the tissue surrounding the heart.
This has been seen in Israeli young men who have already had mass vaccination in that country. (The report concluded that around 1 in 5,000 men who receive the vaccine may experience this side effect, known as myocarditis).
And, to date, this is largely being ignored by employers and schools.  I just saw two patients today who were threatened with termination of their employment if they were not vaccinated immediately.  And, the CDC is STILL recommending vaccination of young adults. Until severe questions of medial risk regarding these issues is resolved, this is medically reckless and immoral.
More than double the number of deaths (5160 deaths) in the last 6 months due to vaccination have occurred compared to deaths from vaccines in the last five years – 1997 to 2013 (2149 deaths in US in all vaccines combined).
Yet, Ol’ Joe claimed in February, and then again just two weeks ago, that these vaccines “are safe, they are safe.”  Pfizer showed that symptoms of myocarditis was higher in their clinical studies in young adults in their early testing, and yet they’ve still pushed this vaccine.  And two weeks ago, the CDC ignored these findings when they released their statement that the vaccine is safe for youth 12 years and older.  If what we are seeing in this group of young men is real, these statements will be the most reckless health recommendation ever to be spoken by a siting American president.
Transparency is the foundation of medical ethics.  First, COVID-19 is NOT a threat to young children or young adults. Forcing college students and employees to get the vaccine “or else” is a violation of civil liberties in the most egregious way.
Today on their own website, the CDC reports myocarditis and pericarditis are risk factors with these vaccines:
“Since April 2021, there have been increased reports to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) of cases of inflammation of the heart—called myocarditis and pericarditis—happening after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination (Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna) in the United States.”
The reports show that most of these cases have been mild and occur within a week of the second dose with both Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. As of today, most employers and colleges refuse to give any COVID vaccine exemptions to their employees or students.
The only way this unethical behavior and totalitarianism stops is if we, the people, demand a change.  You and I must be willing to walk into the arena, whatever it may be—a new relationship, an important meeting, the boss’s office, the school board meeting or a difficult family conversation—with courage and willingness to engage. Rather than sitting on the sidelines and hurling judgment and advice, you and I must dare to show up and let ourselves be seen. Change will take vulnerability. It will require daring greatly.  I will require you to make a decision and then take a stand.

Should I Get A Flu Shot?

Before you answer that question let me ask you a question.  Did you know that the influenza viral strain has multiple sub-types? The Influenza A viral strain that has 198 different sub-types and influenza B has just as many, meaning there are at least 400+ different strains of Influenza. Oh, did I tell you that we have recently identified Influenza C & D sub-types as well? Yes, this means that there are over 600+ sub-types of influenza.

Herd Immunity

You might be able to immunize the herd if the average age of those in the herd lived for 200 years. Anyone telling you getting your flu shot improves herd immunity doesn’t understand virology. Herd immunity goes out the window with influenza and with most mRNA viruses like coronaviruses.

In order to vaccinate the population against influenza 33%-44% of the population must have immunity to all viral types in a given year.   With COVID-19, the estimate is 60-75% must be immunized to all 170+ known strains of coronavirus.

You may have antibodies to one of those flu strains, yet what about the other 400-600 strains you might be exposed to next year? Just because you have antibodies, doesn’t mean you are immune. This applies to Influenza and it applies to coronaviruses.

The influenza vaccine (which only covers 4-5 of the 600+ influenza strains possible). Which one do you pick this year? Hence the CDC cartoon.

Does the Influenza Vaccine Reduce Risk of Hospitalizations?

Over 20 years, the percentage of seniors getting flu shots increased sharply from 15% to 65%. It stands to reason that flu deaths among the elderly should have taken a dramatic dip due to increased flu vaccination each year. And at over 40% of the population being immunized, herd immunity should have been achieved.

Instead, flu deaths among the elderly continued to climb. It was hard to believe, so researchers at the National Institutes of Health set out to do a study adjusting for all kinds of factors that could be masking the true benefits of the shots. But no matter how they crunched the numbers, they got the same disappointing result: flu shots had not reduced deaths among the elderly. It’s not what health officials hoped to find.

The two studies below demonstrate that yearly flu vaccine for those over age 65 does nothing to decrease influenza related death. These studies funded by the government in 2005 and 2006 were suppressed. Your doctor and I never heard anything about them. Yet, the CDC still says “Get your flu shot.”

mRNA Vaccines Increase Risk of Other Viruses

Last, the influenza vaccine actually increases your susceptibility to coronavirus infection. Yes, you read that correctly. A recent study by Wolff demonstrates that influenza vaccinations are not benign.  Influenza vaccine increases risk of Coronaviruses by 36%, non-influenza viruses generally by 15%, and human metapneumovirus by 59%.

And, a second study trying to confirm the findings above reveals increased risk of parainfluenza virus in adults (increased by 4.6% of vaccinated adults and only 2.6% of unvaccinated adults.

So, what is the answer? Waiting for the perfect vaccine or an antibody test is not the answer. Anyone telling you this is selling something.

Please be aware, I am NOT an anti-vaccine physician.  Vaccines are life saving.  But, it is essential that you and I understand the pros and cons of each and every vaccine we use or recommend.  I am a huge proponent of most childhood vaccines, pneumonia vaccines and the new shingles vaccine, because they work. The science confirms their effectiveness.  The science does not confirm the effectiveness of the influenza vaccines.

What should I  do?

We now know that ketogenic diets improve resistance to viral infections by enhancing T-Cell immunity. This is specifically important for influenza and coronaviruses.

The answer is protect yourself. Wash your hands, stay home when you are sick, clean and sterilize frequently touched surfaces. Keep yourself healthy and understand how to reverse hyper-insulinemia (the one factor that makes this and coronaviruses significantly more severe.)

So, wash your hands and pass the bacon!

Oh, and take your vitamins.
